As someone who wrote a book on the origin story of Bitcoin I felt I still had to watch Money Electric— perhaps just to comment on it in a Take. Even watching it for that purpose was a waste of my time.
In a forward-thinking post to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list, renowned Bitcoin Core developer and founder of OpenTimestamps, Peter Todd, has advanced the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 352 (BIP-352) for integrating user-defined expiration dates to silent payment addresses in a bid to address concerns related to compromised or lost wallets.
In a recent discussion, Claudia Diaz, a Professor at the University of Leuven, and Peter Todd, early Bitcoin Core Developer, teamed up on the sidelines of the Magical Crypto Conference 2019 to talk about Bitcoin’s crypto-anarchist image and privacy issues.
Early bitcoin core developer Peter Todd is fighting for his reputation. Todd, a Canadian who started contributing to bitcoin’s code in 2012, revealed on Twitter that he has filed a lawsuit against someone in the community who allegedly accused him of rape and sexual assault, also on Twitter.
Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd joined the backlash against a “fake news” report about Bitcoin’s impact on global warming October 29. This occurred after multiple appearances in mainstream media publications.
